Confidence without Attitude

Confidence without Attitude – Leadership of the Future
(Souce of some perspectives:   McKinsey & Co).

✅In today’s turbulent times, change and disruption are the norm.

✅Research shows that attitude is a positive leadership quality.

✅Leaders need to have strong analytical and technical skills. The need to be confident without a ‘know it all’ attitude.

✅Rather they need to be inclusive, accommodative, open to diversity of opinions, and change of mind.

✅Intellectual humility is a critical factor in a leader’s success. Knowing what they don’t know, that they don’t have all the answers

✅A dual focus on empathy & social obligation (read diversity, inclusion sustainability) as well as rigour.

✅Fostering a culture that can live with perennial uncertainty.  Not fixated on their own perspectives, opinions and decisions.

✅Research shows that ‘narcissistic  leaders’ don’t get ahead faster. Besides they hurt the company’s culture. They may even leave a legacy of problems when they are gone.

✅Today more than ever before, with the challenging times of the last few years we need Confident leaders without a toxic Attitude.

✅Rather we need Confident Leaders who are also great Listeners.
